Answer: C. 17.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2

BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75

BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.

How many solutions does the equation -4x + 6 = 6x -2 have
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

One.

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 6 = 6x - 2

-4x - 6x = -2 - 6

-10x = -8

There's only value of x which, when multiplied by -10 would produce -8.

That value is 0.8.

-10 * 0.8 = -8

No other value can produce the same result.

This means that there's only one solution.

Find the Average Rate of Change between the values of [0, 1]
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The average rate of change cover the given interval is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of a function over a range can be calculated by;

f(b) - f(a)/b-a

f(b) and f(a) refers to the respective y values of the x values a and b

Since we have a and b, we can get f(a) and f(b) from the plot

From the graph, since a = 0, f(a) is the y-intercept = 6

b = 1

f(b) = 0

So we have the slope as

= (0-6)/(1-0) = -6/1 = -6
